A Letter To My "Baby" Brothers

Because I know I don't tell you this enough.

A Letter To My "Baby" Brothers
Cierra

To My Little Brothers,

Let me start by saying I'm so proud of the young men you're both becoming. You're both growing up so fast and every time you guys call me and tell me what you're doing in school I can't help but think that you're both getting so big and smart. I wish I would've been half as amazing as you guys are when I was your age.

I want to thank both of you for being my best friends. We argue and disagree about some things, but at the end of the day I know that I can trust you both with my life and that means more to me than any argument. Siblings fight and argue, but I don't personally know too many that can forgive and forget as quick as we do.

I want to thank you for all the memories you've given me. From frosting cookies at Christmas time to going to the lake and swimming for hours every summer, I want you to know that I remember all of our times together. I remember bringing my girlfriend home for the first time and you guys gushing over her and making sure you guys knew she was right for me.

I want to also thank you for being there for me when grandma died. I came to see you guys after it happened and you both hugged me and we cried together. We lost a big part of our lives that day and I wasn't expecting to break down as much as I did, but you boys held me together like glue and made sure I knew that I was going to be okay even if I didn't feel like it at the time.

Speaking of grandma, thank you both for keeping her spirit alive and talking to me about her every time I see you. Thank you for telling me stories and memories you have with her. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one that still misses her like crazy.

Thank you for always making me laugh. You know how to make me double over and laugh so hard that it feels like I just did a bunch of ab workouts. Between our inside jokes and just random stuff we do, you always know how to make me laugh so hard that I cry.

Now I want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I don't see you both as often as I used to, but I promise once I graduate school I'll come visit more often. I love the weekends that you guys come up and stay the night with me. We always have so much fun playing games, going to the park, and watching movies. I think we could lay on the floor and just stare at the ceiling and have a good time. Thank you for all the good times.

Thank you for all the support you've given me over the years. Whenever I tell you both I want to do something, you constantly push me to achieve my goals. You may not realize it, but you boys inspire me to keep going and pushing to be the woman I want to be. I know that you look up to me and I want to be the best big sister that I can possibly be.

Lastly, I want to say that I love you. I love every little thing about you. Every flaw, every day, no matter what I love you. I love you both more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for everything, boys.

Love, Your Big Sister

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
